The Nigerian Police Force says the recent message circulating about using a USSD code #61# and ##002# to detect hacked phones and remove hackers is not an official pin from the Force.
The Force Public Relations office in a press statement late Tuesday, 19th August 2025 says the Force didn't not authorize nor make the codes available.
"The Nigeria Police Force wishes to clarify that the recent message circulating about using USSD codes #61# and ##002# to detect and remove phone hackers is NOT an official communication from the Force."
The Nigeria Police Force however urges members of the public to verify information through official channels and be cautious of misinformation.
" We also encourage the public to take necessary precautions to stay safe online," it said.
